[QUOTE="Nimrod1203, post: 524611, member: 35129"] I'm really interested in the 6.5x284, however, for my first build the point of sticking with the 25-06 is to stay in the 30-06 family, so the bolt didn't have to change. also, as of now, i don't have the capacity to handload(i have the equipment but it's a 1000 miles away and have no place to mount securely in an apartment) so 25-06 will be easier to shoot. Depending on how this build goes, i may build a remington based(cheaper build due to cheaper aftermarket supplies) 6.5x284 for true long range. I've never shot past 300 yards, so this will be my first longer range set up. my training wheels if you will. I think i can learn alot from the 25-06 and apply that later to another higher power round. That was my thought process anyways. Plus my wife will shoot this gun too(told her i was building it for her too....which made it easier for her to swallow). I also thought that it'd be a good cartridge for western Nebraska. [/QUOTE]
